A short clip from the NHK collection, dated 27/5/1941, featuring Mitsubishi Ki-21 Model 1 Koh "Sally" bombers during a May 15 raid against targets in Zhejiang Province.
Although tail markings are not clearly visible, the unit these bombers belong to is the 14th Sentai. It was the only IJAAF heavy bomber unit operating in the area on that date and the narrator mentions among the pilot names "Hironaka" who is Colonel Hironaka the commander of the 14 Sentai at the time. At 00:38 we can barely see some tail marking consisting of white or yellow horizontal bands on the tail; the original tail marking of the 14 Sentai (as we first showed in our EE#3), before changing to Model 2s and moving to Papua/New Guinea.
